Joining us now is Gerald Salinty of Trendsjournal.com. And again, you can save 10% off if you use the code Knight at Trends Journal. And Gerald, I started the program earlier today talking about economics and the fact that they have been lying to us. There's an excellent article from Brownstone, Jeffrey Tucker, where he's talking about how they lie to us with every one of the metrics. And of course, we've known that. They manipulate the inflation numbers, the, um, the employment numbers and all the rest of the stuff. But as he looked at it, he said, there's a guy who's putting together real metrics using artificial

intelligence to help him fer through all of this buried data and get the right information. He said, if you look at his information, we have been in recession since 2022. He said, they tell you that, and forget, maybe you know what the metric is. If you go two or three quarters, we have negative growth, then you're in the recession. He said, every quarter has been in negative growth. except for a couple and they were basically zero growth since 2022. So you've been talking about the fact that it was going to be worse than stagflation. And there's going to be dragflation.

And we have been in stagflation for quite some time. And I think it's getting ready to accelerate into dragflation. What do you think? It's going on all over the world. Yeah. You got Germany, France, one country after another. the UK, everybody, the whole world. And a bad situation, again, people forget what happened back in 2020.

It's ancient history. They call the COVID war, quote, a pandemic. The World Horror Organization, oh, excuse me, the World Health Organization, called it a pandemic. It broke out on China, on Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the rat. in January of 2020, January, February, March, three months later, they called it a pandemic when less than 5,000 people died out of 8 billion. Yeah.

If they even died from that, right? Exactly. And again, going back to the dad that the second country to lock down was Italy, when the average age of the people dying was 81 years old. That's right. That's right. And we reported that at the time. I remember John Rappaport was one who I first saw uncover that information. And we were talking about it. I had John Rappapur on. He said, yeah, look at this. I mean, you know, they have on average two and a half comorbidities, things that could easily kill them on their own. And their age is over life expectancy. He said, this is not a pandemic at all. No. So going back to what happened, they locked down everything. Yeah. Yeah. They just strong. the global economy.

That's right. Hey, don't worry. Go home. Here's some free money. You're right. Hey, hey, hey, go. We're going to bring interest rates down to zero, all right? Hey, I'm a little slime ball.

I'm a member of the Federal Reserve Bankster Bandit Gang. I'm the head. I'm Jerome Powell, some piece of scum. There's no inflation, Salenti. We were writing how bad inflation was. He didn't say that. me, no inflation, it's only temporary. Yeah.

Remember? Oh, no, no. There's inflation's going up. We have Ms. Fatsar Bluth, that Janet Yellen, the former Fed head, that was the Treasury Secretary under Biden. Yeah, yeah. It's only transitory. Why, I find that.

How about making it transgender tory? Let's really be stupid. Yeah. And what are you looking at this stuff? Yeah. They created inflation by the globe pumping out all of this cheap money back by nothing and printed on nothing. Yeah. Totally.

Hey, you want to go buy a car? How the prices only went up 40% since then? Hey, you want to, how about buying a house? How the prices went up over a little 50%. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And, you know, the people that out there, I reported this about a week ago, Jared Bernstein, who was one of Biden's economic advisors.

And, of course, you look at this guy's history. He's a musician. He's not an economist. And so he absolutely has no clue. And somebody said, after we talked about that and laughed about this guy, he said, yeah, I just realized for the first time I really do think now that debt is an issue. Once we get to $40 trillion, it's an issue. It's like, really, you just figured that out.

And somebody sent me a clip of him where he's been. being asked, people said, so if the government is printing the money, why do we need to borrow that? Why do we need to pay interest? And he just stumbled around and hemmed and haught. He had absolutely no idea. He goes, well, I don't know. He goes, I mean, we are printing the money and we are doing it. I'm not really sure why that's there. And he keeps going back and mumbling something about modern monetary theory, MMT. But it truly is amazing when you look at all this. And of course, Kevin Warsh, the new Fed chair, has already talked about how he's going to have a new metric to calculate inflation.

They're going to rig it yet again. Yep. So they could lower the interest rates to keep propping up the failing economy. This is an article just came out yesterday from the, excuse me, the conference board. They said that the business council conducted a survey and they found that the overall score of business confidence fell to 47. in the second quarter from 59 in the first quarter, any reading below 50 means negative outlooks. Only 15% of the CEOs said the economy is better than six months ago.

What kind of moron would say it's better? Yeah. What kind of imbecile crap are you spewing out? Hey, hey, idiots, how about looking at the facts, huh? Yeah, that's right. And when you're talking about the debt level, it's not $40 trillion. When you put in Social Security government debt, it's more like $120 trillion. Yeah, that's right.

And now with interest rates so high, they've got to pay more on their debt. This is the beginning of the death of the dollar. It's the death of this country. We didn't have to be bombed by another country. We had these slime ball idiot morons. that jokes call politicians that are nothing more than low-life pieces of crap from this country to hell in a city near you. That's right. Everybody, most everybody locked there.

You see the roads up here. We've got this little clown boy over here, this noble, ignoble. I was running a zoo before I became the mayor. My daddy got me here. The roads are like crap. The place is a jerk. You look at the streets. You look at crap.

Go to New York City. Boom, boom, boom, bump all over the roads. The bridges are crap. Hey, take a chip in the subway. It's a night in Calcutta. No, we didn't get bombed out by another country. The political pieces of scum bomb this country into ruin. Yeah.

The demo craps and the repulsive kids. That's right. And when you look at this horrific case of this 18-year-old who was stabbed and then the police handcuff him and denied him medical treatment and he bled to death over the hour that they were delaying any medical treatment to him. I said that's a perfect metaphor. You know, they're doing this and now you've got people who are riding in the streets. They're very angry about this happening and comparing it to George Floyd and all the

rest of the stuff. But they want us fighting each other. And really what we see with this is it's a metaphor about what is being done in Europe. It's also a metaphor, I think, about what is being done here in America. They are literally bleeding us out economically in many different ways as they've got us handcuffed. That's what our government is doing, and it's a bipartisan thing. It's Trump as well as it's Biden. Oh, yeah.

Hey, how about, look what they did to people in ice. Look at how they killed those guys. Yeah. Look what they were doing. Ooh, there's ice crap. That's right. Oh, Homeland Security, brought to us by a little piece of scum. A little rotten, lying daddy's boy who should be in jail,

or maybe they should do that they do in other states, execute them for lying us into the Iraq war. Yeah. Little Georgie Bush. Yeah. He gave us homeland security. That costs us how many hundreds of, how many billions of dollars every year? Some, oh, homeland security did not exist.

That's right. And that's what we did have security. for the homeland. And it was Donald Trump when he was running said, well, I don't understand why Nancy Pelosi didn't impeach Bush over what he did with the Iraq War and all the rest of the stuff. And now look at what this guy's doing. You know, it's even

worse when you look at it. And what Jeffrey Tucker was, I want to say Jeffrey Epstein, Jeffrey Tucker was saying, he said, so far we have seen double-digit declines in GDP overall since

2020, since the pandemic. He says, the cumulative loss has been spread out over six years. He goes, the problem is we've already had roughly half of the losses that happened over the full period of the Great Depression. But the difference is, is that they've been able to hide it from people. They lie to everybody. Trump is out there talking about how he's winning and we're doing great and we've never had things this good before.

And people, meanwhile, they lie through the statistics about employment and inflation. And people are just looking at it. Well, I guess it's just me. You know, same type of lies that they pulled on us during the COVID stuff, right? People are looking at this and, yeah, and saying, you know, this doesn't really add up. It's not what I'm seeing in my personal life. Well, you just don't understand because we've got, here's what we're seeing nationally and that type of thing. It's the same type of thing they're playing on us.

Now they're doing it economically. And this is already half of the Great Depression has hit. And it's global. Yeah. It's global. You look what's going on in India. They started this movie called the Cockroach Party, a Gen Z. One of the head of the Modi's party called the young people Cockroaches.

And so they started a cockroach party. It's like the known things. Yeah, young people are broke. That's why this guy, again, as a trend forecaster, it's not what you like, what you want, what you wish for. It's what is. This guy, Mondani. that won. Nobody.

Nobody ever heard of the guy a year before he was running. Gen Z. That's right. They got no jobs. They got no future. Bangladesh, India, Tanzania, one country after

Nepal. Gen Z, Gen Z, they're fighting against the governments. They have no future. Again, the big zone everything. Again, you and I've talked about this a hundred times. When we were young guys,

there were hardware stores. Yeah. There were grocery stores. There were drug stores. There were shoes stores. There were clothing stores. There were fish stores. Now everything is a chain.

Yes. They did away with the antitrust laws. And this little slime ball, T-shirt I did when he ran for office in 1992, was one of the worst. Slick Willie. Oh, remember the Glass Stegel Act? Oh, I forgot that.

All right, one after another. And Jimmy Carter, that slime ball that everybody looks up to? Oh, the guy that gave us al-Qaeda? No, no. Let's call it Mujahideen back then. We got to fight those Russians because they're trying to stop the Taliban over there in Afghanistan. Oh, that's the guy that began the push for interstate banking.

Back then, there was only intrastate banking. Bank of America was only in California. The bigs have taken over the entire country because these low-life pieces of scum that weren't worth a penny before they got into office are now multi-millionaires because they got paid off. This is not a republic or a democracy.

It's fascism. the merger of state and corporate powers. That's the definition of Mussolini. Yep, that's right. Yeah, take a look at that presidential library that Obama just opened up. The people who live there in that poor community, they are livid about it.

It's one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in my life, and it costs nearly a billion dollars to put that thing up there. Can you imagine a billion dollars for this lying piece of scum? The Nobel Peace of Crap Prize winner, that lied his way into office. I'm going to bring peace. I'm going to bring peace, just like Trump. And what did he do?

As soon as he got in, the Afghan troop surge. Oh, look what he did to Libya. Oh, everybody forgot that. It was the richest country in Africa. People had more rights and benefits than most of the world. Big tourism place. I want that guy Gaddafi added here. Oh, brought to you by Obama, Samantha Power,

Susan Rice and Hitleri Clinton. Yeah. Remember when they asked Hitler, how do you feel that you found out Gaddafi was killed? We came, we saw, he died. He can't make this crap up. That's right. How about Madeline not all that bright?

Remember, huh? Yeah, yeah. And if you go back and look at the emails that Julian Assange put out there, You can see how Hillary was saying, hey, we've got to get this guy in Libya because he's setting up a gold-backed currency that's going to compete against our fiat. Jock garbage that's out there. So it does come back to this money stuff as well. You know, we see what is happening on the streets. We see how they have deliberately sabotaged our societies.

And yet, it's the people of the top who are literally bleeding us to death in so many different ways. Yep. and they don't give a penny for peace. That's right. Nothing. That's right. Nothing. Zero.

Oh, I had, you know, I had Warren Buffett's little boy. Peter Buffett was a tenant in one of my buildings. They had the Novo Foundation. Came to one of my peace rallies and never gave me a penny. Never gave. Matter of fact, he wouldn't even say hello to me. I'm a little giddy from the Bronx. Don't you know my daddy is?

Oh, my daddy came from another rich family, These arrogant pieces of scum. They don't give crap back to the country. Oh, they hated the Carnegie's, but look what the Carnegie's. They did with the libraries, remember? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

They don't give crap back pennies. Oh, and look at that little Gates. Hey, Gates, as we say in the Bronx, you couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fistful of $10 bills. Yeah, you're right. That's why I'm a friend of Epstein. I pay tens of thousands of dollars to get laid.

Yeah, yeah. Absolutely is true. But, you know. Look at these guys. When you talk about... And that's the other reason why this Iran war is going on. Israel has, I believe, they have a lot of Epstein dirt on Trump. Oh, yeah, I think so.

Yeah, absolutely. And it's kind of funny, you know, the supposedly this tough talk that, Trump gave them, I mean, they just mentioned over and over again, you know, how tough Trump was and how he was screaming at him and cursing at him, all the rest of the stuff. I don't believe that for a minute. I absolutely is. They're trying to make Trump look like he's got a spine. He doesn't have a spine when it comes to Netanyahu. I mean, they do whatever they want. Look what they're doing to the palace, the Lebanese people. Yeah. They're given over a million and a 1.3 million people. their homes. That's right. Do you, everybody listening?

Get out of your home. It's my word. God told me, I'm chosen. Get the hell out of here. That's right. Oh, no, no. We're stopping Hezbollah.

Oh, those militants, them terrorists. Oh, you mean Hezbollah? The Lebanese men that drove Israel out of Lebanon? That's right. They were a reaction to Israel's first invasion.

Yeah. And they call them all the prostitutes. media calls them militants and terrorists. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, when you threaten people with the use of force or bombs as Trump threatened Oman just recently, we never had any issue with them, when you use force like that and threats like that and you attack civilian populations, that's what I always thought terrorism was. I still think that's what terrorism is.

And so when you look at this greater Israel project, we all understand what truly is about. and we understand that as they're doing this in Lebanon, they're now attacking Christians. And this is something that these people like Huckabee and others, you know, he is just, he wants to be a Jew, and they need to go ahead and make him one and take him down and circumcise him, I guess, because he just can't get over this stuff.

He probably, probably been cut off already, would you kidding? Yeah, it truly is amazing. But he just can't get enough of this stuff. And it truly is, we look at what do you think about this week? We hear rumblings about how they're going to unify the U.S. and the Israeli military into the next NDAA, which is always a must-pass piece of legislation. And so now they're going to pull this together, unify them even more, give them even more money, and do it secretly. Because they're at the end of their 10-year agreement where we agreed to give them billions of dollars a year. and the way CBS reported it under Barry Weiss, what they said was, well, Netanyahu says he doesn't

want to take that money anymore. And it's like, yeah, he wants a partnership. And they didn't report that. He wants a partnership because he wants a merger with the U.S. military. And he wants to keep this even more secret than it is right now. And yet you've got the media covering for all of that. Again, we didn't give it to them. the Nobel piece of crap prize winner Obama gave him

almost $4 billion a year since then. Wow, yeah. Yeah, and it's an article in this week's Trends Journal, United States of Israel, NDAA further integrates U.S. and the Israeli militaries. All right? Yeah, that's right. This is the Zionist state of America,

and Zionism is not a religion. It's made up by some little SOB-Mayy rotten hell theater Herzl back in the 1890s. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Nothing to do. Zionism, and we're going to steal that land. Yeah, I've played one clip after the other of people like Lauder, who is the father-in-law of Kevin Warsh, his family has a yes dearly lot of fortune. One after that, he's also president of the World Jewish Congress, I think is what it's called,

World Jewish something. And being applauded as he's talking increasingly stridently about how they're going to punish and imprison people who criticize the state of Israel. And just when you thought the military industrial complex couldn't get any worse, now they're going to merge with Israel, the people who are demanding that we lose our free speech, demanding that they not only be able to cancel us, but they also be able to imprison us. And then they're going to have all the tools that are.

available to the military industrial complex, to the police state, that's the direction that they're going to be headed. And then just take a look at this guy that Trump put in there, Pulte. And this guy is straight out of Stalinism. You know, he goes out and he uses his computer, is his artificial intelligence to identify enemies of Trump. And yeah, of course, Latisha James is as corrupt as they come. And she did weaponize government against Trump. That's still not the right way to do it to propagate this and to intensify the fact that whenever we have a regime change, They're all going to lock each other up from the previous regime. But he also went after Lisa Cook with a Federal Reserve because of a policy difference.

And so when Trump is out there saying that he's going to start looking at people using the tools of government to investigate them for anything they say that is anti-American, what he's really going to be doing, he's going to be coming after people who are anti-Semitic, that label that they throw on anybody who criticizes that foreign government. again they're not Semites they're Eastern Europeans Semites are from the Mesopotamia region

what's Milikowski? No no it's name Yahoo now oh yeah I forgot Ben Gorin they all changed their name not all of them a load of them they're Eastern Europeans they're not Semites this is stolen land

you know I read to you before number of times the Balfour Declaration 1917 his Majesty government declares that the land in Israel, the land in Palestine, will be settled by the Jewish people, and we will use our best endeavors to achieve the subjective. Oh, yeah, Balfour that sent it to the Rothschilds.

Yeah, that one. Yeah, that's right. They made this stuff up. Well, you know, I've got a clip I didn't play today, but it's Helen Mirren, who is an actress who has been around for quite a while and been in a lot of different things. And she had an interview where she said, she was there in the early days.

Evidently, she's Jewish, and she said, I saw them dragging people out of their homes and taking their homes and goes, you know, you could look at that and it was, I'm paraphrasing what she had to say, but you could look at that and it was like really awful. But it served this greater purpose and the beauty of what was happening because, you know, this is, they were creating a homeland, even though, you know, they had to break a lot of heads to do it. What a bunch of crap.

Yeah, it is amazing how they rationalize and justify what is literally genocide. I mean, you know, the term genocide was coined because of what the Turks were doing to the Armenian Christians. And it was done by a Jewish guy. And what they were doing was they were killing massive amounts of civilians because they wanted the land. And it's like, you know, we get to this point and you're going to get the message eventually and you're going to move out. That's exactly what the Israeli government officials were saying about the people in Gaza. They admitted it was a genocide.

Well, they got 70 percent. I'm going to get 70 percent of it now? Yeah, yeah. Now they're going to Lebanon. Let's go back to Zionism. How about Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner? Go back to your TransJurial, March 2024, about Gaza. This is very valuable waterfront property,

and the Palestinian people should be moved into the Ngev Desert. Yeah, yeah. And you're talking about the, how about the West Bank, throwing people out, bomb them, destroy, destroying it in violation, in violation of the Geneva Convention and you in Article 242. Don't call them settlers, they're invaders. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you look at what these settlers do and it truly is amazing when you see the videos of what

they're doing, just going out and throwing people out of their homes and, you know, violently. And, you know, when you look at the original genocide, again, this, woman who works for stink Uyghur, the young turds. And I've never liked his politics. I've disagreed with them over his politics. But, and I thought it was kind of interesting that she is coming from an ancestry that was Armenian. And they were thrown out of their land in that original genocide by Turks. And so now she's one of the co-founders of the young Turks. It's kind of odd. But her grandmother went to Palestine. And they were living there. Then they got thrown out by the Israelis. So, I mean, this is the kind of thing that is happening everywhere.

And this is just, you know, the bullying tactics of rule by the sword that we're seeing. And this is 100% what Trump wants to do with everything. Yeah, when I told you about that, here it is the Balford Declaration. He wrote about this in the Trends Journal in 2006. We called it Crusades 2000. We said that, the Balfour Declaration that laid the foundation of Israel,

his majesty's government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and we will use our best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this objective. His Majesty's government? His Majesty? You mean those murderous pieces of scum

in the UK where the sun never sits on the British Empire? and they dress up like little clowns in their costumes, and you kiss their ring, His Majesty. If he was an Italian, you'd call him a mafia. That's right. His majesty, shove it. Oh, I'm the prince.

I'm the princess. I'm the queen. You're a bunch of pieces of murderous scum. Yeah, that's right. And when you look at what is happening with Greater Israel, they've got soldiers who have the package. is showing the map that they want. And Tucker, when he talked to Huckabee, he said, well, you know, if they're going to go back to this biblical description there, and I disagree with that.

I believe the Bible. I certainly don't believe their interpretation of what is happening with us. But he says, if you look at this, that goes up and he mentioned all the different countries. And Huckabee says, yeah, take them all. Well, you know, the country that is also on that list is also Turkey. And Israel is starting to have some issues with Turkey as well. Many people have suggested that maybe that's why Trump is trying to distance himself from NATO. It creates a big problem for the U.S. government if Israel attacks Turkey, doesn't it? Because Turkey is a member of NATO. If Israel attacks Turkey, it would be the end of Israel. I mean, and this war is going to ramp up. They're not going to defeat the Iranians.

All the lies. Hey, we destroyed their military. Oh, right? Hey, how about that hegg shit guy, huh? Hey, they're toast. The toast. That was three days after the war began. Yeah.

The toast. I mean, the quotes, I got so many damn quotes. The war will end when they cry uncle. Or when they can't fight any longer. That was Trump on March 7th. Trump, March 20th. I don't want to do a ceasefire. We're getting very close to meeting our objectives.

Yeah. Yeah, what objectives? Yeah, they changed the regime. They made it worse, didn't they? You ready for this one? They ask when war is going to end? This is March 13th. When I fill it my bones.

Yeah, yeah. How can you get away and spewing out this crap? Yeah. When I fill in my bones, all right? What, you got so much damn fat, you got bones under there. Yeah. You ready for this one?

This is on April 7th. A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want to do that to happen, but it probably will. However, now, you ready? That we have complete and total regime change with different, smarter,

and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionary, wonderful can happen. Who knows? We'll find out tonight. One of the most important moments in the long, complex history of the world. He's great at doing this professional wrestling stuff, isn't he? Again, this is April 7th.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I own the trademark Presidential Reality Show. Yep, that's right. So all it is. And when you look at these stories, Axios, and everybody's quoting Axios, they've supposedly got these two or three anonymous officials from the Trump administration. Trump hates any kind of leaks. Notice that he doesn't hate what they had to say.

Because what they're saying is, and they repeat it over and over again in their articles, they keep using the term steamrolled. Yeah, he steamrolled BB Net and Yahoo and all the rest of the stuff. absolute nonsense. We had one of the listeners here because Trump was so upset at the end of the week last week because all these different acts are canceling on his big party. And he goes, well, I'll just cancel it. Just like I canceled this other stuff, which he didn't cancel. It was canceled by the courts doing that, but the tariffs, right?

And so he says, yeah, I'll cancel that too. he's getting canceled by other people and yet as he says that he goes who needs these acts anyway I can do it myself and then he starts talking about how he gets bigger crowds than Elvis and so one of the listeners put him in an Elvis suit

and had him dancing with the straight of her moves in the background and I said yeah he put up there caught in a trap he's like Elvis you know I'm caught in a trap and I can't walk out

because I love you too much BB why can't you see what you're doing to me when they don't believe a word I'm saying. Boy, I tell you, that that fits perfectly. That ought to be the song that he sings on July 4th. You know, I dress up in his fat Elvis suit and start gyrating with that stuff, shouldn't he? He moves like this.

Yeah. Hey, how, can you move like this, man? You got any looseness in you? Could you go like that? Here, this is in yesterday's one of our trend forecasts. We maintain our trend forecasts. forecast that the Iran war will not end and in fact it will escalate. Why? Because the United States and Israel will not agree to a number of Iranian demands such as Israel stop bombing Lebanon

and stop stealing Lebanese, Gaza and West Bank land. And the United States will not return the money it has seized from Tehran, which according to press TV, quote, for 47 years the United States has held billions of dollars of legitimate Iranian wealth, oil, revenues, central bank reserves, and commercial assets, seized through illegitimate executive orders, and maintained through political pressure, end quote, which they say total, about $100 billion. Also, Iran will not give the U.S. it's enriched uranium. The U.S. will not lift most sanctions opposed on Iran and the U.S. will not pay for the damage that resulted from the U.S. and Israeli bombing of Iran. According to the American Jewish Committee, over the course of a 40-day campaign, you ready?

Mm-hmm. Israel conducted more than 10,800 strikes over 4,000 targets in Iran. Wow. The Israeli Air Force dropped over 18,000 bombs. in more than a thousand waves, the United States carried out 13,000 strikes on Iran military targets. Therefore, the longer the war rages,

the higher oil prices will rise, and much of the world, as we detail, in this week's and previous trends journal, will sink into dragflation. Yeah. Yeah, there's an interesting guy is the University of Chicago professor. his name is Robert Pape.

And he wrote a book called Bombing to Win. The reason he wrote that was because he started looking at what the U.S. military was doing over and over again. And it's not just Vietnam where they had the metrics. Oh, we dropped X number of bombs like you're just quoting there, right? Well, therefore, that means that we are winning, right? There's the same kind of stuff nonsense you hear coming out of Pete Hegeseth. And he pointed out, that does not win wars.

You go back and you look at what happened with Korea, right, during the Korean War. It was unbelievable the amount of ordinance that was dropped. on Korea, basically bombed them into the Stone Age, literally. Still did not win the war. The same thing could be done with Iran. They're still not going to win the war. And even when it comes to something like reparations, which in order to get that through,

it would just be to kind of stand back and say, okay, now you can charge tolls through the Strait of Hormuz. That would essentially take care of that disagreement that they've got there, but they're not even going to budge on that. As you point out, they're not going to budge on anything. And they haven't achieved anything either. They did not want to talk about what this war was about. They didn't want to talk about what their goals were that they were going to accomplish.

They didn't want to have a declaration of war. You know, you have fools rush in where it might have been feared to tread. A wise person would have counsel. That's one of the reasons why it's in the Constitution for that. But they didn't do any of that. Instead, they just rushed in. And there's absolutely no way that they've achieved any of these objectives. they didn't want to talk about any objectives because they didn't want to box themselves in with that.

But they couldn't help themselves from talking about how they wanted regime change. They went in the nuclear program. They wanted to do this. They wanted to do that. And every one of these things that have eventually leaked out as de facto objectives, as they try to justify this action, they do have objectives. And every one of those, they've not only not achieved, but they've driven it in the opposite direction, haven't they? Again, this is the Israel war.

Israel is doing what they want. They're stealing more Palestinian, Lebanese land. They're murdering people. This is a very advanced country. It's a beautiful place. Same thing with Gaza. People have no idea how beautiful it used to be. Bomb to ruins.

This is the United Zionist state of America. Yeah, that's right. What concerns me, Gerald, is I've seen Jonathan Pollard go on multiple shows, and I've played the clips home, bragging about the fact that Israel blackmailed the United States when Kissinger didn't want to give them weapons in 1973, or just before that, the Yom Kippur War, they said, send a plane and take your satellite, take a look at this plane. We got parked on the tarmac and look at what's under its wings.

And he's real cagey about it. He goes, well, I can't legally say what it was, but it was a non-conventional weapon. In other words, it was a nuclear weapon. And he blackmailed. He talks about blackmailing the United States with a nuclear weapon. And I say, we're going to use that against Egypt if you don't do what we want you to do. And Jonathan Pollard, Mark Levin, and these shills for Israel are pushing really hard to escalate this into a nuclear war because they know that's the only way they can push this thing over the edge.

And it would be the end of life on Earth. That's right. Beginning at the end of life on Earth. That's what they want. Well, again, you've been on target with all. all this stuff and you've seen this trend coming for a very long time trends journal.com. That's where you can get the magazine, a weekly magazine, a wealth of information that is there, and you can save 10% off with the code night. Thank you so much for coming on, Gerald.

Oh, thank you so much of all you do. I really appreciate being on with you. Thanks so much. Thank you. Thank you. And have a good day, everybody. Thank you for joining us. The Common Man. They created Common Core to Dumb Down Our Children. They created common past to track and control us, their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man is simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.

It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at the Davidnightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidnightshow.com.
